USSF
Registration fees increases for 2009
After arriving home from Regionals, I received notice
from the USSF that there will be an immediate price increase on
registration fees. The USSF is not phasing them in
over a period of time, the increases are immediate. The SRC reviewed the
increases and, while they are justified, didn’t feel the timing gave us a
chance to notify our members and expect them to react in a positive manner.
So, the SRC has voted to phase the increases in over a two year period to
soften the blow on each member in our organization. What we are willing to
do is take a hit the first year on the increase and subsidize part of the
increase. I have compiled a list showing the fees from 2008, the new fees
from the USSF and what Arkansas
will charge for 2009. I hope you see that the committee is working to
lessen the impact on each family as much as we possibly can.

Note**:2009 Registration Fees (will go up in 2010; half split now for
2009, and half split next year)
This increase is completely the work of the USSF and
not the Arkansas State Referee Committee. As I stated, this notice came to
us on June 26 and was effective immediately. There has been a ton of
backlash directed toward the USSF, but not enough to rescind the increase.
We will continue to monitor this situation, but for now, the increases are
shown above.

Arkansas State Referee Committee
